Fall 2011 Day-long Retreat

2011-10-13T09:10:00.000-07:00

We will have our Fall 2011 Day-long Retreat on Sunday, Nov. 6th at Little Portion in Republic, MO, from 9am-5pm. Please refer to the previous post for directions. Once again, this will be a self-guided retreat, with a group sitting at the opening and close of the retreat. Holly will give a Dhamma talk in the afternoon before the final sitting. Please bring your own cushions and any other supports that you might need--a few cushions will be provided for those who have none, and chairs are available, as well. Bring your own lunch: a kitchen is available for our use. We suggest a donation of $10 for the use of the retreat center. Volunteers to help set up before the retreat and clean up after are most welcome.

Day-long Retreat

We have scheduled our next day-long retreat for Sunday, October 24th. It will begin at 9 am and wrap up around 5 pm. All of the details still need to be worked out, so check back regularly to find out the latest information.
Holly will give a short Dhamma talk in the morning, and would welcome any ideas or suggestions about what she should talk about. Feel free to leave your comments here, by email, or on the Facebook page.
You will need to bring your own lunch to the retreat. There is a kitchen with refrigerator, microwave, and coffee maker available for our use.
Kirsten has agreed to lead us in a gentle yoga session at the beginning of the retreat in preparation for sitting meditation. Everyone is welcome to participate in this if you desire.
We will bring cushions and benches from the studio, and there will also be folding chairs available for use. If you have your own cushion or bench, please bring it with you so that we will have enough seating for everyone.
I will post a map to Little Portion Retreat Center at a later date for those who don't know where it's located.
